I just asked them over a support request :) The Guix ISO is only visible
at my account, I didn't asked yet if they could add it for all customers...

BTW: I built an ISO image with the fix from
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/36099. They added this ISO as well to
my account and now the installation succeeds with the graphical installer :)
